IMPROVEMENT IN PLOUGH-WHEEL.

TO ALL WHOM IT'MAY concninv:

1 Be it known that i, E. S. RICE, of Paw Paw, in ,the county of Van Bnren, and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Plough-Wheel; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which-- Figure list a side.view of my improved. wheel.

Figure 2 is a detail sectional view of the same, takcnthrough the line at z, fig.-1.

Figures is a side view of a modified form of the same.

Figure is a detail sectional View of the same, taken through theline y y, fig. 3.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

My invention has for its object to improve the construction of plou working in and wearing orclogging the wheel; and it consis the wheel, axle, and standard, said collar being attached to upon the hub or axle of the wheel, as hereinafter more fully described.

A is the standard, which is adjustably attached to the plough in the ordinary manner.

ghwheeIs, so as to keep the dirt from To the lower end ts in the combination of a removable collar with the standard and passing around a flange formed of the standard A is attached the axle B, which enters and works in a socket formed in the hub of the wheel D, the outer end of said hub bein closed, as shown in fig. 2. fits around the lower end of the standard A, and around a flange wheel D, as shown in fig. 2. The lower ends of the collar C are 5 ends of the said collar, and through the end of the standard, as's collar 0 may be secured to the standard A by means oi" a sliding cap or band, E, as shown in red in fig, 1. If

formed upon the inner end of the hub of the ecured in place by a bolt passing through the G is a collar, which is made in two parts, and

hown in figs. 1 and 2. The upper ends ofthe desired, the axleB may be rigidly attached to the whee; l), and the socketbe formed in the standa-rd'A. In: this case the flange is formed upon the axle B, and the collar 0 is secured to the standard A by screws, as

shown in figs. 3 and 4. This latter construction I prefer, as being simpler, from the working parts, and at the same time allowing thea'xle to be re necessary to throw away the entire wheelaud standard.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination of a removable'collar, C, .with the wheel D, axle B, and standard A, said collar being 'removahly attached tothe said standard, and passing around a flange formed upon the hub or axle of the wheel, substantiallyas herein shown and describedand for the purpose'set forth.

equally effective in keeping the dirt placed when worn, without its being E. S. RICE.
